3The advanced SRS offers the ability to
control the air bag inflation with two lev-
els. A first stage level is provided for
moderate-severity impacts. A second
stage level is provided for more severe
impacts.
According to the impact severity, seating
position (only driver) and safety belt
usage, the SRSCM (SRS Control
Module) controls the air bag inflation.
Failure to properly wear safety belts
can increase the risk or severity of
injury in an accident.
Additionally, your SRS is equipped with
an occupant classification system in the
front passenger’ s seat. The occupant
classification system detects the pres-
ence of a passenger in the front passen-
ger’ s seat and will turn off the front pas-
senger’ s air bag under certain conditions.
For more detail, see “Occupant
Classification System” later in this sec-
tion.
CAUTION
If the seat position sensor is not working properly, the SRS air bag warning light ( ) on the instru-ment panel will illuminate even ifthere is no malfunction of the SRS air bag system, because the SRS airbag warning light is connected with the seat position sensor. If the SRSair bag warning light does not illu- minate when the ignition key isturned to the "ON" position, if it remains illuminated after blinkingfor approximately 6 seconds, or if it illuminates while the vehicle isbeing driven, have an authorizedKia dealer inspect the seat positionsensor and the advanced SRS air bag system as soon as possible.
AIR
BAG
WARNING
 Modification to the seat structure
can adversely affect the seat
position sensor and cause the air
bag to deploy at a different level
than should be provided.
 Failure to properly wear safety belts can increase the risk or
severity of injury by causing the
air bags to deploy at a different
level than should be provided.
 Do not place any objects under- neath the driver’s seats which
could damage the seat position
sensor.
 Do not place any objects that may cause magnetic fields near the
front seat. These may cause a
malfunction of the seat position
sensor.

WARNING
 Ignoring the SRS indicator light (air bag indicator and passenger
air bag off indicator) can result in
serious or fatal injury if the air
bags occupant classification sys-
tem or pretensioners do not work
properly. Have your car checked
by a dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS warning light alerts you
to a potential problem.
 Sitting improperly or out of posi- tion can result in serious or fatal
injury in a crash. All occupants
should sit upright in their seats
with their feet on the floor until
the vehicle is parked and the igni-
tion key is removed.
WARNING
 You must always sit as far backfrom the steering wheel air bag as
possible (chest at least 250 mm
(10 inches) away from the steer-
ing wheel), while still maintaining
a comfortable seating position for
good vehicle control, in order to
reduce the risk of injury or death
in a collision.
 Never place objects over the air bag storage compartments or
between the air bags and your-
self. Due to the speed and force of
the air bag inflation, such objects
could hit your body at high speed
and cause severe bodily injury
and even death.
 Do not put stickers or ornaments on the steering wheel cover.
These may interfere with the
deployment of the air bag.

Knowing your vehicle
If there is no passenger in the front pas-
senger seat or if the passenger in the
front passenger's seat is very small,
(such as a child), the front PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator may go ON.
When this indicator is ON, the front pas-
senger's air bag will not deploy.
The front passenger’s side air bag will
not deploy if the front seat is unoccupied.
The front passenger’ s side air bag may
deploy if the front seat is occupied by a
small occupant. Always be sure that you and all vehicle
occupants are seated and restrained
properly (sitting upright with the seat in
an upright position, centered on the seat
cushion, with the person's legs comfort-
ably extended, feet on the floor, and
wearing the safety belt properly) for the
most effective protection by the air bag
and the safety belt.

The OCS may not function properly if
the passenger takes actions which can
defeat the detection system. These
include:
(1) Failing to sit in an upright position.
(2) Leaning against the door or center console.
(3) Sitting towards the sides or the front of the seat.
(4) Putting legs on the dashboard or rest- ing them on other locations which
reduce the passenger weight on the
front seat.
(5) Improperly wearing the safety belt.
(6) Reclining the seat back. 
The "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates after the ignition
key is turned to the "ON" position or
after the engine is started. If the front
passenger seat is unoccupied or is
occupied by very small person, or is
occupied by someone who is improp-
erly seated, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will remain illumi-
nated. If the front passenger seat is
occupied by someone of adult size and
body shape, the "PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF" indicator will turn off after 6
seconds.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger's air bag will not deploy.
The front passenger’ s side air bag will
not deploy if the front seat is unoccu-
pied.
The front passenger’ s side air bag may
deploy if the front seat is occupied by a
small occupant.
 If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF"
indicator is not illuminated, the front
passenger front air bag and front pas-
senger side air bag may deploy in
either a side or frontal collision.

*1The system detects a person who is generally adult size as an adult, thus allowing the pas-
senger air bag to deploy. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system
may detect their body shape as that of a child, thus preventing air bag deployment.
*2When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult depending on his/her body shape or seating
position, thus permitting air bag deployment.
CAUTION
If the "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" indicator illuminates or blinks continu- ously when a person of adult size sits in the front passenger's seat, it could be because that person isn't sitting properly in the seat. If this happens, turnthe vehicle off, make sure the seat back is not reclined, have the passengercenter on the seat cushion, with legs comfortably extended, and the safetybelt properly positioned. Restart the vehicle and have the person remain in this position long enough to allow the system to detect the person and acti-vate the passenger air bag.
CAUTION
If the occupant classification sys-tem is not working properly, the air bag warning light ( ) on theinstrument panel will illuminate because the passenger’s air bag isconnected with the occupant clas-sification system. If there is a mal- function of the occupant classifica-tion system, the "Passenger Air bag Off" indicator will not illuminate andthe front passenger's air bag will deploy in frontal crashes even ifthere is child or no occupant in the front passenger's seat.
Have an authorized Kia dealerinspect the occupant classification system with the SRS air bag systemas soon as possible if any of follow-ing occur;
 The SRS air bag warning light does not illuminate when the igni-tion key is turned to "ON" posi-tion.

3Emergency trunk safety releaseYour vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark
when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk, mov-
ing the handle in the direction of the
arrow will release the trunk latch mecha-
nism and open the trunk.
OGH026009
WARNING
No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
WARNING
 If a person is locked in the trunk,
they can pull the emergency
release to open the trunk lid.
 We recommend that cars be kept locked and keys be kept out of
the reach of children, and that
parents teach their children about
the dangers of playing in trunks.
